The diagnostic performance of functional dopaminergic scintigraphic imaging in the diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies: an updated systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Dopaminergic scintigraphic imaging is a cornerstone to support the diagnosis in dementia with Lewy bodies. To clarify the current state of knowledge on this imaging modality and its impact on clinical diagnosis, we performed an updated systematic review of the literature.

Methods

This systematic review was carried out according to PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive computer literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for studies published through June 2022 was performed using the following search algorithm: (a) "Lewy body" [TI] OR "Lewy bodies" [TI] and (b) ("DaTscan" OR "ioflupane" OR "123ip" OR "123?ip" OR "123 ip" OR "123i-FP-CIT" OR "FPCIT" OR "FP-CIT" OR "beta?CIT" OR "beta CIT" OR "CIT?SPECT" OR "CIT SPECT" OR "Dat?scan*" OR
